You're trying to confuse people on purpose by using a numbering scheme that nobody bloody uses, aren't you? I was able to decipher your shit but how about you just use the actual titles next time.

Wonder Boy in Monster World is the best.

Agreed, Monster World is the most polished, with pleasantly drawn, colorful graphics and comfy music. Dragons Trap is good, but it's a little rough compared to Monster World.

OP's image is kind of the de-facto Monster World V at the moment, the original producer is involved in some capacity, and Yuzo Koshiro is doing the music for that authentic Sega 16-bit vibe.

This series is like everything Zelda II: The Adventure of Link should've been.

Glad to see that the spiritual successor is mostly inspired by Dragon's Trap.

OP is using the correct numbering. The first Wonder Boy isn't counted as a Monster World game, so in Monster Land is, Dragon's Trap is 2 etc.
This is also the official numbering of the series as shown by MWIV.

Ehhh, it's a "spiritual sequel" that while having the input of the series creator, is being handled by a French mobile-dev team who have some decidedly amateur art.

I am not holding my breath, so I can hope to be surprised.

>>3222369
the remake of the track in Wonder Boy in Monster World (III) is the best:

>tfw you know shit is on when this song starts playing

I prefer the two MD games to Dragon's Trap/Adventure Island. The world in Dragon's Trap is just a little too small and linear for my tastes; I liked how WBiMW opened things up considerably. Monster World IV is super linear, but I can't deny the effect of all its polish.

Monster Lair (the shmup hybrid) is pretty lame. Waaay too long and bosses have way too much health for your pea-shooter to take care of.

Adventure Island is the Japanese name of the PCE port of Dragon's Trap, which is the one I played. The PCE ports are all kinds of fucked up in the name/graphics departments because of licensing issues between Sega, Westone, and Hudson.

To take your vid as an example: Monster Land was reskinned to some retarded capsule monster fad that was popular in Japan at the time:
